libltc - en+decode linear timecode 

Linear (or Longitudinal) Timecode (LTC) is an encoding of timecode data as a Manchester-Biphase encoded audio signal\&. The audio signal is commonly recorded on a VTR track or other storage media\&.
.PP
libltc facilitates decoding and encoding of LTC from/to timecode, including SMPTE date support\&.

.PP 
Raw 80 bit LTC frame
.PP
The datastream for each video frame of Longitudinal Timecode consists of eighty bit-periods\&.
.PP
At a frame-rate of 30 fps, the bit-rate corresponds to 30 [fps] * 80 [bits/f] = 2400 bits per second\&. The frequency for a stream of zeros would be 1\&.2 kHz and for a stream of ones it would be 2\&.4 kHz\&.  With all commonly used video-frame-rates and audio-sample-rates, LTC timecode can be recorded easily into a audio-track\&.
.PP
In each frame, 26 of the eighty bits carry the SMPTE time in binary coded decimal (BCD)\&.
.PP
These Bits are FRAME-UNITS, FRAME-TENS, SECS-UNITS, SECS-TENS, MINS-UNITS, MINS-TENS, HOURS-UNITS and HOURS-TENS\&. The BCD digits are loaded 'least significant bit first' (libltc takes care of the architecture specific alignment)\&.
.PP
32 bits are assigned as eight groups of four USER-BITS (also sometimes called the 'Binary Groups')\&. This capacity is generally used to carry extra info such as reel number and/or date\&. The User Bits may be allocated howsoever one wishes as long as both Binary Group Flag Bits are cleared\&.
.PP
The function \fBltc_frame_to_time\fP can interpret the user-bits as SMPTE Date+Timezone according to SMPTE 309M-1999\&. similarly \fBltc_time_to_frame\fP will do the reverse\&.
.PP
The last 16 Bits make up the SYNC WORD\&. These bits indicate the frame boundary, the tape direction, and the bit-rate of the sync tone\&. The values of these Bits are fixed as 0011 1111 1111 1101
.PP
The Bi-Phase Mark Phase Correction Bit (Bit 27 or 59) may be set or cleared so that that every 80-bit word contains an even number of zeroes\&. This means that the phase of the pulse train in every Sync Word will be the same\&.
.PP
Bit 10 indicates drop-frame timecode\&. The Colour Frame Flag col\&.frm is Bit 11; if the timecode intentionally synchronized to a colour TV field sequence, this bit is set\&.
.PP
Bit 58 is not required for the BCD count for HOURS-TENS (which has a maximum value of two) and has not been given any other special purpose so remains unassigned\&. This Bit has been RESERVED for future assignment\&.
.PP
The Binary Group Flag Bits (bits 43 and 59) are two bits indicate the format of the User Bits data\&. SMPTE 12M-1999 defines the previously reserved bit 58 to signals that the time is locked to wall-clock within a tolerance of ± 0\&.5 seconds\&.
.PP
SMPTE 12M-1999 also changes the numbering schema of the BGF\&. (BGF1 was renamed to BGF2 and bit 58 becomes BGFB1)
.PP
To further complicate matters, the BGFB assignment as well as the biphase_mark_phase_correction (aka parity) bit depends on the timecode-format used\&.

(1) ISO/IEC 646 or ISO/IEC 2022 character set\&. If the seven-bit ISO codes are being used, they shall be converted to eight-bit codes by setting the eighth bit to zero\&. 4 ISO codes can be encoded, user7 and user8 are to be used for the first code with LSB 7 and MSB in 8\&. the remaining ISO codes are to be distributed in the same manner to user5/6 user3/4 and user1/2 accordingly\&.
.PP
(2) The Page/Line indicates ANSI/SMPTE-262M is used for the user-bits\&. It is multiplex system that can be used to encode large amounts of data in the binary groups through the use of time multiplexing\&.
.PP
libltc does not use any of the BGF - except for the Parity bit which can be calculated and set with \fBltc_frame_set_parity\fP\&. Setting and interpreting the BGF is left to the application using libltc\&. However libltc provides functionality to parse or set date and timezoe according to SMPTE 309M-1999\&.
